This is one of many pieces where I deal with thoughts about our traditional way of treating horses "What people do with horses is most of the time not related to the feeling and passion that led them to this beautiful creature originally. This very sincere and pleasing feeling's name is the love for horses. But the moment when they approach a horse, immediately some 'specialists' appear and begin to explain that the horse must be pushed around, beaten and that you need to lock it up with reins that are connected to a metal instrument in his mouth. A system that's built on those ideas excludes any kind of love, and especially the love for the horse. If you look at how sportsmen, stuntmen and the classical school representatives treat their horses, it would appear as if they don't act out of love, but out of hatred against the horse."
